Chapter 30: The Human Condition

I was woken up by Wen Lin and them.

I don't know how many days later, their injuries have healed.

Zhang Yi also woke up and sat cross-legged on the side without speaking.

"Where are we going next?" I asked Wen Lin.

"Let's go to the human world and take a look, I don't know what the ghost world has done in the human world, and there is not much time left for us. ”

Wen Lin rode the white tiger, I sat on the back of Jairus, Zhang Yi flew with the sword, and followed the way out of the land of the dead.

The scene along the way has been restored to its original state, new plants have grown on both sides of the road, and some bird calls can be heard in the distance, and the Soul River is extremely clear, but there is no soul crosser.

"It's going to get better here, right?"

"Yes. The mask whispered in my ear.

Out of the Land of the Dead, there was a clear blue sky and fresh air outside, and the ground was damp, as if it had just rained.

"Where are we going?" I asked Wen Lin.

"Zhang Yi said that he was going to a place called Huaixue Valley, follow him. ”

Zhang Yi led the way in front of us.

When I left the land of the dead, I saw a forest surrounded by many large and small peaks, and beyond those peaks, there was a higher and larger mountain in front of me, and half of the mountain was above the clouds, and through the clouds, the surface of the mountain was covered with snow.

"It's around here. Zhang Yi turned around and said.

Finally we landed in a strange valley, which is not like a normal valley, the top of this snow-capped mountain extends out to one side, hanging in the air, and then extending downward, connecting with this mountain, forming a valley in the middle, this valley is not capped, and the bottom can be said to be suspended, like a flat land built artificially out of the mountain.

There is a village in this valley where the houses are made of stone, and the people work on the flat land and build houses on the slopes.

"Follow me. Zhang Yi walked ahead.

We didn't speak, and quietly followed Zhang Yi.

People were not surprised to see the white tiger in their eyes, as if it was commonplace and accustomed to it.

Walking to a stone house that was much larger than the other houses, Zhang Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

What came out was an old man who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with a cane, and the handrail of the crutch was a golden dragon head.

"Uncle. Zhang Yi saluted in front of the old man.

"It's you, come in and sit down. The old man seemed to be very familiar with Zhang Yi, and immediately invited us into the house to sit, and Baihu and Jianwei stood guard at the door.

The furniture in the house was made of stone, but instead of a futon, the stone bed was covered with a thick layer of snow.

"Sit down. The old man was a little surprised when he saw us, and sat down alone, "Don't worry, it won't melt." ”

When we saw the old man sitting on it, we all sat on it.

The snow is soft, but it doesn't melt, and it doesn't feel cold, but it feels a little hot.

The old man put his cane aside and looked at us, "The descendants of Tianzun, the descendants of Lingzun, and Zhang Yi are the descendants of Dizun, now it's complete, hahahahaha." The old man looked at us and smiled kindly.

Wen Lin and I didn't speak, Zhang Yi sat beside the old man and helped the old man.

"This is my uncle, and my father is a close friend, my uncle was a demigod in charge of the human world in ancient times, and the earth is the closest connection with the human world, so I have known my uncle since I was a child. Zhang Yi was surprised to see us and explained to us, "After resting for the past few days, the Demon King's skills have reminded me of my life experience and what happened before, so I brought you here to ask for some help." ”

"Ahem...... Young people, I know that you don't remember yourself very clearly, especially you. The old man pointed at me, "If you go through it like this, those memories will come back to you slowly, and they are not lost, but they are hidden in the depths of your memory, hidden in another body." ”

"The other me?" I asked the old man.

"Yes, people have two looks, this look is opposite, some people are good and evil, some are strong and weak, you are still very weak, that strong you, you need to be stimulated to appear, and when that strong you appear, you have to learn to make him grow and become stronger. ”

"We're here to see what's going on in the world. Wen Lin said to the old man, "You were in charge of the world before, and you don't know ......."

Before Wen Lin could finish speaking, the old man picked up his golden dragon cane and drew a strange pattern in the air against the blank stone wall opposite.

The stone wall instantly revealed the scene of the world.

"Take a look. The old man put down his crutches.

Looking at the stone wall again, you can see that it is a city, there are bazaars, there are wandering merchants, there are farmers farming, there are many houses, people's pupils are pure white, there is no communication, but the daily activities are still going on.

"These people are all dead, and the ghost world has injected them with ghost energy, controlled them, and allowed them to move as usual, but in fact they are all walking dead. The old man waved his sleeve, and the stone wall changed to the next scene.

It was a village, the village was full of blood, and the river on the edge of the village had become a river of blood, and many corpses were still beside and in the river, some of the corpses were rotting and crawling with maggots all around, and some of the corpses were not yet decomposed, but they were constantly bleeding black blood.

"This is the village that was slaughtered by the ghost soldiers. The old man took a sip of water, "They seem to be random about the life and death of ordinary people, some are killed and thrown corpses, and some are killed and turned into walking corpses." ”

"Then there is no one to manage the world now, can no one help them?" I looked at the miserable situation in the world and was a little angry.

"You're the only ones who can help them. The old man waved his sleeves, the scene on the stone wall was gone, and he stood up on crutches, "I'm old, my situation here is the same as the world, because the world has fallen, it is difficult for me to grow food here, I am trying my best to remedy it, but I still can't save the world, even if there are no mortals who have been slaughtered by the ghost soldiers, many of them have died of disease and famine." The ghost qi is too strong, the earth has been polluted, if I die, this Huaixue Valley will collapse, and the world will be destroyed. The old man shook his head, walked to the door on crutches, and looked at the clouds and snow in the air, "With the current strength of the ghost realm, it is completely possible to destroy the other three realms in one fell swoop, but they destroyed the heavenly realm, the spirit realm, and the earth venerable were also killed by them, but they kept a few of you, and they did not completely eliminate the weakest human world, they are like ...... In the cloth a very large bureau. ”

We were speechless for a while, and the old man continued: "If you become stronger, you can destroy the ghost world by joining forces, but it depends on whether the ghost lord will give you time, so you have to hurry up, hoping that the ghost lord will lose to his arrogance in the end." ”

"Uncle, I don't know if Uncle Yi Zhen is still there?" Zhang Yi asked the old man, "I want to ask him to do us a favor." ”

"I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know if his body can help you. It is getting late today, so you will stay in my house, and I will take you to him early tomorrow morning. The old man walked back to the room, and his figure slowly faded before disappearing.

"That's ...... Gone?" I was a little surprised.

"Hmm. Have a good night's rest, and we'll go to Uncle Yi Zhen early tomorrow morning. Zhang Yi patted me on the back and walked into the house.

Wen Lin and I didn't say much, and followed into the house.

Lying on a stone bed, under him was the warm soft snow.

"Mask, I think Zhang Yi seems to be a different person, even if he remembers the past, he won't suddenly become so cold to us, right?"

"He's not the sentimental Zhang Yi he used to be, didn't the old man say it? You all have two kinds of selves in your body, Zhang Yi has now become the powerful him, but he is still far from being truly powerful. ”

"What the hell is this old man?"

"The person in charge of the world, half-human and half-god, when the earth is here, he and the earth are in charge together, and now that the earth is dead, he is the only one to manage, but his ability is too far behind the earth, and he can't help the world by relying on his ability. ”

"Where's Uncle Yi Zhen?"

"According to legend, there is a caster in the world, named Yi Zhen, who is a descendant of the gods, with exquisite craftsmanship, and the tools he casts are all superb. Zhang Yi probably wants him to build weapons for you. ”

"What weapons should I use? I rarely saw these cold weapons in my previous life. If I don't use it well, I might as well not use it. ”

"Let's take a look tomorrow, since the reputation of Yi Zhen's craft can spread all over the world, it's no problem to tailor a weapon for you. However, it is said that Yi Zhen's temper is very strange, he will not help ordinary people, only to build weapons for destined people, and the old man's crutches are from Yi Zhen's hand, you will try your luck tomorrow. ”

"That old man said about the four worlds of heaven and earth, spirit and ghosts, this world has the territory of heaven, earth, and ghosts, where is my spirit world?"

"The spiritual realm exists in all things, and without the spiritual deity, heaven and earth would not have the slightest life, and this is the difference between you and them. Mask paused, "Don't think about it, let's get some rest, and I'll go to the grumpy blacksmith tomorrow morning." "Anyway, the mask ignored me.

I looked out the window, looking through the mist at the dark sky, and gradually fell asleep.
